For more than 15 years, Bio-Rad has made science education a major priority. To support this effort, the company has implemented a discount policy that allows high school and college teaching laboratories to purchase kits, instruments, reagents, and other equipment at preferred prices.

How do I apply for the education discount?

If you are an educator at the high school or college level, visit our Education Discount Policy page to establish an education account number.

Used with the ProteOn™ XPR36 protein interaction array system, ProteOn sensor chips are prepared with a modified alginate polymer layer bound to the gold surface of the sensor prism. This layer provides the net negative charge and active ligand binding sites. The result is user-controlled sensitivity down to the subnanogram level.

The ProteOn NLC sensor chip is designed for general amine coupling and has NeutrAvidin bound to the GLC polymer layer with a binding capacity of approximately one protein monolayer. It is suitable for immobilization of biotinylated proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids.

Each ProteOn sensor chip is enclosed in a bar-coded cartridge for data tracking and archiving. Chips have long-term storage stability and all six ligand channels may be used across different experiments.
